I got this off the site www.hlgaming.com
Here's how to get HL2 MP working, its still kida a beta and will prolly crash but it's worth a try
"Use the following command to get the MP of Half-Life 2:

C:\Steam\Steam.exe Steam.exe -applaunch 220 -game MP +map d1_trainstation_04 +maxplayers 12 - console -developer 1 -heapsize 512000 -ip jouw.ip.hier -port 27016 -sv_lan 0


Also HL2World reported the Half-Life 2 Multi Player news, here some words from them:


Here's how:

net_start
sv_lan 0
deathmatch 1
maxplayers (whatever you want)
map (mapname)
restart

It will add you to the master server and it works. I know, it looks like the leak, but I assure you this is the retail HL2."

that doesn't really help much, but the actual "How-to" tutuorial is on a forum on that site.

people need to start mapping, then it'll be fun!

Yeah I found that out a couple of days ago but I forgot to post it lol. I was searching for mods and came up with that instead.

Here is the menu d/l for multi, it is not a virus as some people may say in the beginning of the thread, as I have d/l'ed it and it works. http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=182013&perpage=15&pagenumber=6

I got it too...started a map, and it was a single player map...there's was a NPC in it, as well as baddies...what's with that?

Its for co-op. Maybe we could schedule a time to do a Co-op match. I am free all week except Sat, Sun, and Mon.

I was thinkin' deathmatch, like Exe was talking about...I understand now...maybe, that'd definitely be fun!

Well we could always choose a small map, tyoe in console notarget(enemy won't move or attack), turn ff on, and frag each other lol. Only problem would be that there would be no scoreboard. Hopefully someone will get around to making a DM mod, and CTF!
